Pros

The technical staff members are outstandingly smart. It's refreshing to interact with so many smart, motivated people. Motivated by knowledge, not by money.

Cons

But there are still some no-nothing, classic, government duds. No one gets fired here; poor performers just get shuffled around. Everyone hopes they don't receive one.
